Noah Syndergaard throws the fastest average fastball out of every starting pitcher we have on record. Granted, our record stretches back only to 2002, but thats 15 seasons, and pitchers are throwing harder than ever before. Unsurprisingly, in second place, theres rookie-year Stephen Strasburg, whose every start was a well-publicized event. This year, Syndergaard has averaged 98.0 miles per hour, and in 2010, Strasburg averaged 97.3.Continue down the list and theres the 2016 version of Seattle Mariners left-hander James Paxton in third place, at 97.2 miles per hour. His name might be relatively unfamiliar, but its a name worth keeping in mind as the Mariners try to make a charge for the playoffs. Paxton is coming into his own at the big league level, and he seems to be turning into a pitcher short on peers.Now, as anyone who has watched Yordano Ventura can tell you, theres more to pitching than just throwing hard. If you object to the Ventura reference, Nathan Eovaldi works well as a stand-in. Hitters can hit bad fast pitches, and they can hit good fast pitches if they dont have to worry about anything else. Paxton is taking a step forward, and its about more than simply letting it fly. Name an area where a pitcher could improve and Paxton has probably improved at it.This is a starter who has been around since 2013. However, lat and finger injuries limited him to just 13 big league starts in each of the past two years. Already thats one improvement: This year, Paxton has been durable, with 23 starts between Triple-A and the majors. But let me show you what this breakout looks like in table form. There are 168 starting pitchers who have thrown at least 20 innings in each of the past two seasons. (Paxton, for what its worth, has easily cleared those low marks.) Here you can see how Paxton has improved in three stats, and you can see his improvement rank among those 168: Cheap San Francisco 49ers Jerseys . The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the Lions have not announced the hiring, which was first reported by ESPN.

Cheap Marcell Harris Jersey . 10 Texas Rangers jersey for one last time. Young formally announced his retirement Friday after returning to Rangers Ballpark, his baseball home for all but the last of his 13 major league seasons. MINNEAPOLIS -- Kendrys Morales has resumed his form as a feared power hitter. The Kansas City Royals hope it has come in time to push them back to the postseason.Morales had two home runs, including a three-run blast in Kansas Citys seven-run ninth inning that propelled the Royals to a 10-3 victory over the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday night.Morales hit a two-run shot in the first inning to help the Royals overcome the loss of catcher Salvador Perez, who left the game with a right wrist contusion after he was hit by a pitch in the sixth inning. It was his 17th career multihomer game and extended his hitting streak to nine games.Its been some time now where Ive been starting to feel really, really good, Morales said through an interpreter. Now Im, really comfortable at the plate and Im making good, hard contact.Brian Dozier hit his 39th home run of the season for the Twins, moving him into a tie with Rogers Hornsby (twice) and Alfonso Soriano for fourth-most home runs by a second baseman in a season. He has homered in five straight games, tying Harmon Killebrew and Marty Cordova for the longest streak in Twins history.Former Twin Drew Buteras bases loaded single off Brandon Kintzler (0-2) broke a 3-3 tie and got the Royals rolling in the ninth.Morales has five homers in his last seven games.Hes swinging the bat real well right now, thats for sure, manager Ned Yost said. The second (homer) was huge. We were trying to keep (reliever) Wade (Davis) out of the game.The Royals started the day two games behind the second wild card in the AL, but with five teams ahead of them. The margin of error is getting slimmer by the day, and a loss to the team with the worst record in the majors certainly would not have helped their cause.After giving up three homers to Dozier on Monday night, Royals starter Dillon Gee fell behind 0-2 in the first inning and left a fastball up in the zone. Dozier hit it an estimated 395 feet into the second deck in left field, giving him 25 home runs since the All-Star break. Three of those were hit as a DH, but his 22 as a second baseman surpassed Hall of Famer Joe Gordons 21 for the most ever by an American League second baseman.ddddddddddddGEES STARTGee gave up three runs and eight hits and struck out two in six innings. Kelvin Herrera (2-4) pitched one inning for the win.Yost said he thought he might have to get a tired bullpen up early when Gee served up long balls to Dozier, Trevor Plouffe and Eddie Rosario in the first two innings. But the right-hander settled in after that and allowed just two hits over the final four innings before yielding to the bullpen.Everything he was throwing was elevated in the zone and his location was off but after the second inning he came in and made an adjustment and got in a groove and did a phenomenal job of getting us through six innings and keeping us right there in the game, Yost said.ROSTER MOVESRoyals: Recalled INF Christian Colon and selected the contracts of OF Daniel Nava and RHP Kevin McCarthy from Triple-A Omaha. OF Reymond Fuentes and RHP Nick Tepesch were designated for assignment to make room.Twins: Recalled RHP Tyler Duffey, 1B Kennys Vargas and INF James Beresford from Triple-A Rochester. Manager Paul Molitor said Duffey would return to the starting rotation on Friday against Cleveland.TRAINERS ROOMRoyals: OF Lorenzo Cain missed his sixth straight game because of left wrist inflammation. He is listed as day to day.Twins: Plouffe had to leave the game in the middle of an at-bat in the eighth inning with a left oblique strain. Plouffe left after falling behind 1-2 and was replaced by Vargas. ... LHP Tommy Milone (left biceps) and RHP Trevor May (back) threw simulated games on Tuesday. Molitor said both would likely be activated on Friday.UP NEXTThe Royals send LHP Danny Duffy (11-2, 3.13) to the mound to face Twins RHP Kyle Gibson (5-9, 5.31) in the series finale. Duffy has been dominant for most of the season, but has allowed at least eight hits in three straight starts. Gibson has been largely disappointing in his Twins career, but is 5-4 with a 3.10 ERA in 10 starts against Kansas City.
